I not only think that Right Wing Dominionist Led Conservatism should not only be stopped...

36. Thank you. And I agree...

...the Dominionists will resort to violence if they do not get their way, to ensure that they get their way.

For the most part, I agree with most everyone that violence is deplorable. But having said that, I also must say that violence is not always avoidable. We must be realistic. I understand human nature too much as a student of anthropology and an understanding of sociology that there is always going to be some asshole somewhere who wants to start some shit. Plus, I understand my own nature and character enough to know that I am not a pacifist, I will not take someone getting in my face lying down. I am just not a doormat, it's just not in my nature. So, I am not above engaging in violence to either defend myself or others. And if that makes others uncomfortable here at DU, also know that I just do not care.

I look at this way: seeing what has gone on historically in the past and what is going on today in the Middle East, in regards to one group of human beings running roughshod over the rights of other human beings, it behooves me that most of my fellow progressives seem to me to be unwilling to defend themselves when necessary. Joining hands and singing cum-ba-ya does not always work. Especially when there are organized religious extremists banging you over the head with a two-by-four. I am going to pick up a bigger stick and swing back and hope that I kill the sob!! And I say that unapologetically. I just do not like bullies.
